在过去的6年里，塔夫茨大学的教职员工在labviewtm&legotm数据采集系统之间开发了两种不同的软件包。这些包允许我们教工程与乐高积木和LabVIEW学生从5到50岁。硬件和软件的多功能性允许学生可以构建和编程的各种可能性-从机器人和遥感设备到动态雕塑。当学生设计和建造他们的项目时，他们有动力去学习他们需要的数学和科学知识来优化他们的项目。大学生和幼儿园的孩子都对这个动机有反应。在本文中，我们解释了我们如何设计软件来补充这些项目，允许自动化和动画。该软件使用LabVIEW，将其功能扩展到幼儿园和乐高积木。最后，我们将展示我们如何使用LabVIEW和LEGO数据采集来教授小学科学，大一工程，仪器仪表和实验，以及大学高年级和研究生如何使用硬件和软件来解决各种数据采集问题。
For the past 6 years, faculty members at Tufts University have developed two different softwarepackages between LabVIEWTMand LEGOTMdata acquisition systems. These packages allow usto teach engineering with both LEGO bricks and LabVIEW to students from 5 to 50 years old. Theversatility of the hardware and software allow a wide variety of possibilities in what students canbuild and program–from robots and remote sensing devices to kinetic sculptures. As studentsdesign and build their projects, they are motivated to learn the math and science they need tooptimise their project. Both college students and kindergartners respond to this motivator. In thepaper, we explain how we designed software to complement these projects in allowing automationand animation. The software uses LabVIEW, extending its capabilities to kindergartners andLEGO bricks. Finally, we will show how we have used LabVIEW and LEGO data acquisition toteach elementary school science, freshman engineering, instrumentation and experimentation, andhow college seniors and graduate students have used both the hardware and software to solvevarious data acquisition problems.
